Photo of the Day
Above and Beyond
Capturing this photo of a whale breaching off the coast of Alaska is a special memory for Your Shot photographer Eric Esterle, who was sitting in a kayak at the time. "Surrounded by silence, I could hear the whale calls above the surface," he remembers. "I am privileged and thankful." This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
